then we thought, well, we have it replace the skylights, we thought we'd do steel skylights, steel stashed skylights, framed skylights to match the existing and then we realized that it was so badly deteriorated we had to do the roof as well. the roof is lead coated copper and we are replacing that with zinc and with the skylights, as i mentioned, we first talked about steel. so the discrepancy in the only documents which is typical as you develop a project, it's been a year since then, you lack at different conditions and the a drawings were architectural drawings and had the old drawings and the b drawings have the correct notes. the b drawings override the a drawings because that's protocol. the b drawings were produced by sgh and they do say aluminium skylights. the reason for aluminium versus steel, aluminium we can take off the shelf items and use them and they are tested for their performance rating structurally. if we use steel skylights it's, it has to be custom and cannot be tested. right now the answer is that we are using aluminium skylights in exactly the same profile as the e

there is a lot of steel to get into this job. it is not a company that i know, it is in fact a holding company that bought up pacific coast steel, so we are really getting pacific coast steel. but they are no longer sbe because they are bought out by a multinational which happens. this is the lowest responsive bid. it is a balanced bid from my experience, the contractor is not loaded. and so i am very comfortable to recommend it and i would look forward to working with shimmick as the kind of people that are going in price and their coming out prices are very much the same number, a small percentage increase usually change orders not claims. >> any questions? >> i do have one, director ortiz? >> i am trying to understand all of this increases and all of that stuff. when you saying there by increasing authorized direct costs by $110 million. is that to web core original work? what is? it is increased to what? >> well, web core on this project is general contractor. and we get permission to them to award contracts, that we take out

steel pipe. the steel pipe. it turns out that the speed of sound has to do with the elasticity of the substance. when you deform something, how quickly will it snap back? and steel is very, very, elastic. so sound travels very nicely through steel. but it's not as dense as lead. and even the density of the air falls out. it doesn't have to do with the density of the air or the density of the medium. has to do with the elasticity of the medium, and then the second order effect is this, what we're talking right now, the temperature of the medium. rest assure sound will travel a little faster in a warm day than a cold day. and let me give you some evidence of that. it's something that occurred to me when i was a kid. i couldn't figure it out. and later on, when i got into physics--boom-- the answer to my question came. when i was a kid, i used to be a boy scout, and we used to go camping up at camp nihan, saugus, massachusetts. and we'll camp in one side of the lake. this is the lake. there will be another scout tr

china's economic strength has helped their steel makers to beat their rivals. south koreans are quickly closing the technological gap with japan. the japanese steel makers are trying to regain leverage with major resource companies. they hope joining forces will make them more competitive and help clear a path into emerging markets. but the new company faces a bumpy start. before the merger, they projected joint net losses much bigger than expected, $3.6 billion for the first half of fiscal 2012. the stronger yen is to blame. slowing demand is also a concern due to the global economic downturn. that means japan's new steel giant has little margin for error or time to waste if it is to beat competition in the global market. chie tanaka, nhk world. >>> here are the latest market figures. 17-nation eurozone remained at >>> security in afghanistan continues to deteriorate with two deadly incidents in three days. on monday, a suicide bomber targeted afghan and international soldiers on patrol. many civilians were also killed in the attack. officials say the bomber d

i've seen steel company after steel company that went under in my lifetime.our company has not only succeeded in developing products like what you just showed me for the mars rover but it's also going right to china. some people say taking it to the chinese. but made it so that they have to use our product because it's the best. >> people talk a lot about china as being an enemy. we think of china as an opportunity. we've invested in china. we build factories in china. and as a result of that the timken company exports $700 million worth of products a year to china. china and the rest of the world. generating 3500 jobs here in the united states. >> and these are high-paying jobs, the kind the president says we need to have. these are not low-paying jobs where there's safety issues, either, right? >> timken is one of the safest companies in the world. that's first point. secondly, our people deal with high technology in every aspect that they do. in the steel mill that we went through today everyone deals with computers, has to understand the technology in it.

the structural steel building will be the... it will be left will be well after ours and it is everything going right. >> okay. >> but, the medium sized building and those are all reinforced concrete. but, yes, obviously one takes concern while working with the designers to try to make some big costs of steel and those and this is we are trying to get the system down as easy as possible and working hard, in fact, to get the designs that are easier to build to bring the price down and it will be looking even on the bid. i may have to negotiate some negative change orders if we can come to an agreement to build things easier. >> thank you. >> any more questions? >> seeing none, thank you. >> okay. >> no members of the public indicated that they want to address on that item. >> will you take roll call on this item. >> approval? >> sorry. >> second? >> second. >> with that director lloyd. >> aye. >> metcalf. >> aye. >> reiskin. >> aye. ortiz. >>ee. kim, aye. and that is five aye and item seven is approved. item number 8. authorizing

welcome to the timken faircrest steel plant in the heart of steel and nat gas and oil country. other people want to make friends. i'm just trying to make you some money. my job is not just to entertain you but to educate you. did you ever think an ohio steel mill could be so cozy? i know i never did. but on a day when internet wonder boy google reported disappointing earnings, causing the entire stock market to tumble, the dow giving up eight points, s&p .24%, but the nasdaq nose-diving 1.01%, i've got to tell you, i feel pretty darn comfortable being surrounded by people who make physical goods rather than just create websites. you've got to love the irony, frankly. the moment that google issued its release prematurely i was basking in the glow of a blast furnace, making high-tech timken steel. this kind of technology, the technology you see behind us, sure feels more certain and more tangible than google's technology after today's brutal shortfall. and you know what? that's the main reason why we came out to the industrial heartland today, to examine firsthand the manufacturi

based on your evaluation, in this assessment was it determined that steel is simply an inferior possible solution? >> even with the standards it's generally preferred to use the historic materials, so i think in this case if steel was proposed that would be a preferred option. but it is not inconsistent to propose aluminium as long as those profiles match. again, as long as it looks the same and it's a metal material and there won't be any sort of incompatible issues with different metals rubbing up against each other along the roof line. the commission didn't find that there was any issue with that. often the commission approves aluminium-clad windows in historic districts for maintenance purposes as long as they match the historic profiles, so this was a similar application. >> thank you. >> thank you. so we'll take public comment now. can i see a show of hands how many people intend to speak on this item, if you'd raise your hand? okay, great. we can have the first speaker step forward and if you are able to line up on the far side of the room, that would be helpful just to expedite t

there are some concrete on the steel deckings. it is not large quantities that will stretch the market here at all. there is very little rebar in that. such that we have... i think that it is six, qualified bidders, and one of them said that he is dropping out because the others are too well established on the west coast and he came from the east coast. but we still got five very good bidders and they are keen on it. the work it has... it is not... it is a different material. most of the buildings or not all of them, maybe all of the buildings that we are see there are reinforced concrete buildings. the structural steel building will be the... it will be left will be well after ours and it is everything going right. >> okay. >> but, the medium sized building and those are all reinforced concrete. but, yes, obviously one takes concern while working with the designers to try to make some big costs of steel and those and this is we are trying to get the system down as easy as possible and working hard, in fact, to get the designs tha

but steele says it's the part- time seasonal mexican labor force that keeps the engines humming. what would happen if you couldn't get those mexican workers? >> worst case? we'd go out of business. best case? we'd probably shrink by half to two-thirds. >> reporter: a federal guest worker program allows him to bring in some 85 seasonal workers to take jobs paying $9.20 an hour. jobs he says most colorado job seekers just don't apply for. steele wants a president who will allow those programs but crack down on businesses that hire undocumented workers. the health of his company rides on immigration policy. given that need, how do you figure out who to vote for? >> it's a difficult question. i saw a poll that said i think half of americans are not excited about either one of the candidates. i'll put myself in that category. >> reporter: it will be up to the two presidential candidates to convince undecided voters like steele in colorado and other swing states that they have immigration policies that will make the difference. president obama has focused on deporting immigrants with c

as well as to the tube steel that forms the basket columns. so by doing the additional detailing now, we are working out potential conflicts with the architectal systems that meet up with the cast nodes as well as giving a better set of documents to the perspective steel fa bri caters so that when they are working at the foundry, they can have more accurate pricing and take a lot of risk out of the bid. >> we have also had others take a look at the center, these are examples of storefronts that they looked at as potential examples of the ground level retail at the west end of the station and how to provide visibility for that as well as outdoor, seating areas that we will have along the pedestrian mall. as well as potential retail examples for the second level of the station. where we are going to have more of a food court and food hall type of arrangement. >> so, based on their recommendations we have made quite a few changes to the ground level and the mezzanine level and here you can see the layout of those spaces at the 50 percent construc

industry in this case the global steel industry but in any event. miners detected something wrong at the mine strange airflow patterns. an arm broke on a long long wall operation which is a huge device that races a thousand feet up and down going into a mine into the coal scene of the middle original coal and apparently what happened was the company was under a lot of pressure to mine the metallurgical coal because. bad weather nostril you had really increased demand and prices for met coal had gone up maybe thirty percent very quickly so there is money to be made absolutely especially if you could do it in that window before the price came back down because weather cleared up in australia. exactly so what happened apparently after the miners were almost at the end of the shift ships are usually eight hours. a ball of methane according to three investigative reports burst out the size of a basketball from the scene and as badly maintained device that rips up coal by eating into it with bits hundreds of bits hit a sandstone layer that threw out spark

(thomas doherty) the critical reaction in "the steel helmet" was by and large confused. the film was complicated and doesn't lend itself to a simplistic sort of interpretation. the film raises many unpleasant and incongruent elements in the american character. anybody in there? (thomas doherty) if we have moral unity in the second world war, as remembered in "sands of iwo jima" in '49, we have more equivocation and disillusionment in "the steel helmet." what's your outfit, soldier? (thomas doherty) where we see the increasing disintegration of the american memory and experience of war. say, what kind of an outfit is this? u.s. infantry. where's your officer? by the time we get to "platoon" the american platoon is not fighting the enemy; they're fighting each other. (announcer) vietnam veterans disagree on whether this shows the war exactly as they fought it, but most agree it has a profound effect. it's a pretty devastating film. it really is. it really touched the personal side of it. for vets, be ready for it. good afternoon, candidates, i'm captain vickers, leadership
